Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/9] mfd: Add support for the ST-Ericsson CG2900 Audio.

Thanks for you comments Alan.

I guess I didn't put enough comments in the code or the commit message
regarding this.
In fact we (ST-Ericsson) are writing drivers that e.g. maps to the V4L
framework. They then
call the API in this driver. This driver has never been intended to
map directly towards ALSA
or V4L. We have other drivers under development that does that.
